In the past we have had to double up students on keyboards so everyone had a chance to play. Now we have enough for every student enrolled in class to have their own. \r\nThe first day it was in the classroom the students were so excited that they didn't have to share anymore. The students are much more on task now that there are enough pianos to go around. \r\nFor most of our piano students, this is their first time playing a piano. They are learning proper fingerings for the right and left hand. Learning to read the treble and bass clef and putting it all together at the same time! We have lots of struggles and successes in our class, with many of our students wanting to carry on with their music studies after the class ends.\r\nThank you again for the wonderful addition to our classroom that will be used for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1762449433106,"projectUrl":"project/play-it-forward-keyboards-for-our-growi/9751814/","projectTitle":"Play It Forward: Keyboards for Our Growing Musicians","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Eger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9920967"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88608","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":966,"numTeachers":69,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":48,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.2,"schoolId":88608,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McKeesport Area High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McKeesport Area High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/mckeesport-area-sch-district/mckeesport-area-high-school/88608"}
